Colin, Just tried this on my 3.1 system. All works fine.
Is it possible the "dataset not catalogued" message was for some other dataset? For example related to a recovery? Does an "I" command get you the dataset details? I just tried this with an uncatalogued dataset on a volume. 1. I got the dataset list on the volume and then 2. renamed the data set on another screen. When I went back to edit the dataset from the list from (1) I was informed "Data set does not exist" with no mention of any cataloguing.

I have just brought up a standalone z/OS 3.1 system. I used ISPF 3.4, specified a dataset and volume, and the dataset was found. If I then use E to edit it, I get the message"Dataset not cataloged". This technique works fine for z/OS 2.5. Do all data sets have to be cataloged on 3.1 - or am I missing some configuration ? This was a surprise rather than a problem, as my next two steps were import the user catalog, and defined the alias for the HLQ.
